Texas Lilacs and Lemon Slices 24" x 18" oil on linen I am enjoying spending time with my family this weekend. Mostly fun time, but today we are working on cleaning out the garage together. WAIT! Isn't Labor Day supposed to be a day to take a break from labor? Oh well, it's fun doing it together! Speaking of satisfying labor, this painting is one I finished last week. My focus on creating a more loose feel in my work is really inspiring me. It requires a careful consideration of edges and thoughtful placement of brushstrokes.

Be Mine 9" x 12" oil on linen I'm a little late sharing this one, but my sweetie gave me a dozen beautiful red roses for Valentine's Day. He knows how much I love flowers. I painted three of them scattered on a silver platter, which was a wedding present over 15 years ago. I see lots of symbolism in this painting. Even the reflections of the freshly cut, romantic roses in the slightly tarnished silver platter seem to say things to me. I love to share my art and inspiration.

© 2010 Gwen Bell 6 X 6 oil on canvas Tried to think of something that would make an interesting reflection and decided upon this egg. Once I had the set-up arranged I realized the shell was the exact same Mocha color as my coffee. Love it when little surprises like that happen in a painting!
